“Night Ambush” is the scenario Julian Davies included in his Vietnam Era squad level skirmish rules called Platoon. The rules and this scenario originally appeared on the now defunct Grunt! website. With Julian’s permission I have republished them here.

Mission

November 1967, somewhere near the Cambodian border.

The 2nd Platoon of Bravo Company 22nd Infantry, 25th Infantry Division, is searching the jungle for the elusive North Vietnamese 141st Regiment. After a hard day’s slog spent bashing through the bush, elements of the platoon are detached from the company perimeter to prepare a night ambush.

Julian Davies’s “Platoon” is a set of squad level skirmish rules for the Vietnam Era. These rules were developed from the Avalon Hill game of the same name. Julian originally published Platoon on the Grunt! website, now defunct, so I have republished them here.
